Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the beef patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into a patty shape that is slightly larger than your burger buns.

Cooking the Patty and Bacon

  1. 2

    Cook the bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 3

    Cook the beef patty

    In the same skillet, add the beef patty and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and place a slice of American cheese on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Caramelizing Onions

  1. 4

    Caramelize the onion

    Finely slice the medium onion. In the skillet, using the leftover bacon grease, add the onions and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).

Garlic Mayo Preparation

  1. 5

    Make garlic mayo

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with finely minced garlic cloves. Mix well and set aside.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the burger

    On the bottom half of the burger bun, place a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Add the beef patty with melted cheese, followed by the crispy bacon and caramelized onions. Top with a generous spread of garlic mayo and cover with the top half of the bun.
